"During the late 60's and early 70's, The Dick Cavett Show was beloved by critics and hailed as an intelligent alternative to the other more frothy interview shows. In addition to the standard-fare of celebrities, he often booked controversial and opinionated guests like Gore Vidal, Timothy Leary and Georgia's segregationist governor Lester Maddox."

"The art of interviewing a personality particularly for television is probably the most difficult thing to achieve. Few people including the most experienced actually get it right. I think the reason is because being a good interviewer requires one to be first and foremost a good listener."
